Psalms 119:103 How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
This is how God's Word should be to the born again Christian, and if that is so we will surely take a stand for it.
2 Peter 3:3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
One has only to open his eyes and look around himself. Read the Newspapers and watch the news on TV to see everywhere the signs Jesus has given us of the end times. And surely there are those who scoff and mock in their own conceit.
But we must take a stand for God's Word and be willing to suffer for it, and even die for it and be sure that the time will come when many will die for it.
Many of the early Church leaders not only suffered for the Words of Christ but many were martyed for it. Even today in Muslim countries the penalty for trying to convert one to Christianity is DEATH. I personally know at least one missionary who has suffered things I cannot even print here for the Word of God. But it is something that ALL those who love God and love His Word must be willing to do.
Revelation 6:9 ¶ And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
Revelation 20:4: And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
